This Week's Duncecap Award ...

Indiana University Southeast was on a brief lockdown Thursday after a student reported seeing a man walking on campus with a backpack that had a weapon sticking out of it, but police later determined it was an umbrella.

... Although the student who called police mistook an umbrella sticking out of a camouflage backpack for a rifle, IUS Chancellor Ray Wallace says he can understand why.

"When I saw the backpack in question, the student said he had seen a backpack and it looked like a rifle was sticking out of the backpack, camouflage backpack," Wallace said. "When I saw it when police brought it in ... it really did look quite like a rifle butt."
